XRP Price Prediction – The '13 Candle' Theory

Pro-XRP analyst EGRAG CRYPTO once again stirs up the XRP community with a bold new price prediction. Known for his viral predictions about XRP and a track record that includes a few accurate forecasts, EGRAG's latest post focuses on what he calls the "Candle 13" - and it is shaping up to be one of the most significant candles in XRP's history. Using a rare 12-month chart, the annual candlestick chart from 2012, EGRAG indicates a strong bullish setup. According to him, the 2024 candlestick (Candlestick 12) forms a bullish engulfing pattern. In such higher time frames, such a pattern often signals a major reversal. The body of the 12-month candlestick closes higher than all previous candles since 2017, EGRAG says this confirms a long-term bullish change. The significance of this candle lies in its position and strength. A bullish engulfing candle on the annual chart is not common. It shows that buyers have taken complete control and reversed the market from previous hesitation and selling. EGRAG also indicates that this engulfing pattern started from Candle 5 in 2017 and continued to develop until Candle 11 – making Candle 12 potentially the confirmation of a multi-year bullish trend. Now we are at Candle 13 – the current year. EGRAG believes this could be a breakout year. If XRP mimics the type of move it made in 2021 (Candle 9), when the price surged about 800%, we could see XRP price reach somewhere between $13 and $22 by the end of 2025. He specifically pointed out $13 and $22 as key targets, with $17 as the midpoint based on extrapolating similar percentage increases.

He pointed out that this target range is not naturally occurring. It lies right between two long-term trend lines on his chart – Line 1 and Line 2 – framing the multi-year ascending channel of XRP. These trend lines have been respected throughout XRP's price history and currently Candle 13 appears to be approaching them once again. The body of candle 13 is currently above a critical level – $1.85. According to EGRAG, a close below that level at the end of the year could signal the end of this bullish cycle. On the other hand, a close above $3.40 would confirm the breakout and pave the way towards double digits. Until then, price fluctuations between $1.85 and $3.40, according to him, "are just noise." He emphasized that an annual closing level above $3.40 would send a strong technical signal. It could confirm XRP's transition to a new bullish phase, with the 13 Candle representing the official breakout after many years of sideways movement. Additionally, there is a strong psychological factor. If XRP ends the year 2025 with a large green candle, it will mark a turning point in how institutional investors and the broader market perceive this asset. That is why EGRAG emphasizes December 31, 2025, as a date to watch. It will not just be about the price - but also about the candle formation itself and its significance on the highest available time frame chart. Whether XRP achieves those lofty goals or not, one thing is clear: EGRAG's analysis still focuses on the long-term chart structure of XRP. His approach leans towards patience, a narrowed context, and the belief that history often rhymes in the cryptocurrency market. And if it repeats, his $13–$22 range may not be as far-fetched as you think.
